Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2022 (the “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties ever materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, our results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,”” might,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would” ”seek,” or “should,” or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions or variations are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, our beliefs or expectations relating to our future performance, results of operations and financial condition; our strategic initiatives, business strategy, supply chain, brand portfolio and product performance; the COVID-19 pandemic; current or future macroeconomic trends; and future corporate acquisitions and strategic transactions.

Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements include: our ability to successfully complete the integration of the businesses of Tilray and Aphria; our ability to successfully complete the proposed HEXO transaction and achieve the expected production efficiencies and cost savings; challenges and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; the highly regulated environment in which we operate and our dependence on regulatory approvals and licenses; our ability to manage our supply chain effectively; disruption of operations at our cultivation and manufacturing facilities; challenges and uncertainty resulting from the impact of competition; our ability to manage risks associated with our international sales and operations; our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new products; our ability to execute our strategic plan and other initiatives, including our ability to achieve $4 billion of revenue by the end of our fiscal year 2024; our dependency on significant customers, which generate a significant amount of our revenue; input cost inflation; disruptions to information technology systems; pending and future litigation; volatility in our stock; our ability to raise funds; and other risks and matters described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, this Form 10-Q and our other filings from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in our Canadian securities filings.

Forward looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, while we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, these statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements or forward-looking information as predictions of future events.

We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in assumptions or circumstances, except as required by applicable law.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1. Description of the business

Tilray Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Tilray”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), is a leading global medicalcannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company headquartered in Leamington, Ontario, Canada, with operations in Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Latin America that is changing people’s lives for the better – one person at a time – by inspiring and empowering the worldwide community to live their very best life by providing them with products that meet the needs of their mind, body, and soul and invoke a sense of wellbeing. Tilray’s mission is to be the trusted partner for its patients and consumers by providing them with a cultivated experience and health and wellbeing through high-quality, differentiated brands and innovative products. A pioneer in cannabis research, cultivation processing and distribution, organization,Tilray’s production platform supports over 20 brands in over 20 countries, including comprehensive cannabis offerings, hemp-based foods, and is one of the leading suppliers of adult-use cannabis in Canada. The Company also markets and distributes food products from hemp seed and offers a broad range of natural and organic hemp based food products and ingredients that are sold through retailers and websites globally.alcoholic beverages.

On December 15, 2020, we entered into an Arrangement Agreement (as amended, the “Arrangement Agreement” with Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”), pursuant to whichApril 30, 2021, Tilray acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”), an international organization focused on building a global cannabis-lifestyle consumer packaged goods company in addition to its businesses in the marketing and manufacturing beverage alcohol products in the United States, and in the distribution of (non-Cannabis) pharmaceutical products in Germany and Argentina, pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”“Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (the “Arrangement”)(Ontario). The Arrangement was completed on April 30, 2021.   Each outstanding common share of Aphria outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement was transferred to Tilray in exchange for 0.8381 of a share (of Tilray Class 2 common stock). As of March 31, 2021, the Arrangement had not yet been completed and as such, the financial statements do not reflect the effect of the transaction.

Note 2. Basis of presentation and going concernsummary of significant accounting policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) reflect the accounts of the Company. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual reportAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended DecemberMay 31, 20202021 (the “Annual Financial Statements”). These financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Company’s balance sheet in these interim financial statements was derived from the audited Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on athe going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due.due, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value, as detailed in the Company’s accounting policies.

ReclassificationsAs a result of the April 30, 2021 business combination with Aphria, the reported results do not include the results of operations of Tilray and its subsidiaries on and prior to April 30, 2021, in accordance with the accounting treatment applicable to the Arrangement. Accordingly, comparisons between the Company's results for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 and prior periods may not be meaningful.

Information about the accounting treatment of the Arrangement including details of the transaction, determination of the total fair value consideration, and allocation of the purchase price, are included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended May 31, 2021 filed in Form 10-K with the SEC on July 28, 2021 (“Annual Report”).

The Company reclassified previously disclosed amounts related to inventory valuationpurchase price allocation for the Arrangement is open for adjustments and stock-based compensation expenseshas been allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.  In the event that more information is obtained, the purchase price allocation may change. Any future adjustments to conformthe purchase price allocation, including changes within identifiable intangible assets or estimation uncertainty impacted by market conditions, may impact future net earnings. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made through the end of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company either has a controlling voting interest or is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. A complete list of our subsidiaries that existed prior to our most recent year end is included in the Annual Report.  

On August 13, 2021, the Company and other unrelated persons formed Superhero Acquisition L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SH Acquisition”), for the purpose of acquiring certain senior secured convertible notes in the principal amount of approximately


$165.8 million (the “MM Notes”) originally issued by MedMen Enterprises Inc. (“MedMen”) together with certain associated warrants (the “MM Warrants”) to acquire Class B subordinate voting shares of Medmen (the “MedMen Shares”) fromcertain funds affiliated with Gotham Green Partners (the “MM Transaction”).  The MM Notes mature onAugust 17, 2028.  On August 17, 2021, SH Acquisition completed the disclosuresMM Transaction and issued 9,817,061 shares of its common stock  as partial consideration for the MM Transaction. The balance of March 31,the consideration for the MM Transaction was paid in cash by the other unrelated investors of SH Acquisition. 

In connection with its issuance of 9,817,061 shares of its common stock, the Company’s received an interest in SH Acquisition equal to approximately 68% of the interests in SH Acquisition and, therefore, indirectly acquired a right to 68% of the MM Notes and related MM Warrants, which were convertible into approximately 21% of the MedMen Shares outstanding (if such MM Notes and MM Warrants were converted and exercised upon closing the MM Transaction). In addition, interest on the principal amount of the MM Notes shall accrue at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 6%, with a LIBOR floor of 2.5% and, any accrued interest shall be payment-in-kind at a price equal to the trailing 30-day volume weighted average price of the MedMen Shares, as and when such payment-in-kind interest becomes due and payable. SH Acquisition was also granted “top-up” rights enabling it (and its limited partners) to maintain its percentage ownership (on an “as-converted” basis) in the event that MedMen issues equity securities upon conversion of convertible securities that may be issued by MedMen.  Tilray’s ability to convert the Notes and exercise the Warrants is dependent upon U.S. federal legalization of cannabis (a “Triggering Event”) or Tilray’s waiver of such requirement as well as any additional regulatory approvals.

Under the SH Acquisition partnership agreement, certain material events described therein require the approval of the Company, and, upon a Triggering Event, the Company has the ability to appoint two of the three members of the board of directors of the general partner of SH Acquisition. As a result, we consolidated SH Acquisition as a subsidiary of Tilray beginning on August 17, 2021.Additional information about the MM Transaction is included in Note 7 Long-term investments.

On December 1, 2021, the Company acquired all the membership interests in Cheese Grits, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company that owns the SweetWater Brewing Company brewery and taproom in Atlanta, Georgia (the “SW Acquisition”), which facility was previously disclosedleased to the Company. Cheese Grits, LLC, was owned by certain former equity holders of SweetWater and current employees. As consideration for the SW Acquisition, the Company paid a purchase price at closing equal to $30,665, which purchase price was satisfied through the assumption of outstanding debt as well as the issuance of 843,687 shares of Tilray Class 2 common stock with a fair value of $8,606. On December 17, 2021, the Company issued an additional 82,224 Class 2 common shares with a fair value at issuance of $776 to satisfy its contractual obligations under the SW Acquisition. As a result of the SW Acquisition, Cheese Grits, LLC has been consolidated as a subsidiary of Tilray beginning on December 1, 2021. The SW Acquisition did not meet the definition of a business under US GAAP and has been treated as an asset acquisition.

On December 7, 2021 the Company acquired all the membership interests in Double Diamond Distillery LLC (d/b/a Breckenridge Distillery), a Colorado limited liability company and a leading distilled spirits brand located in Breckenridge, Colorado, known for its award-winning bourbon whiskey collection and innovative craft spirits portfolio (the “Breckenridge Acquisition”). As consideration for the Breckenridge Acquisition, the Company paid a purchase price in an aggregate amount equal to $114,068, which purchase price was satisfied through the issuance of 12,540,479 shares of Tilray’s Class 2 common shares. As a result, we consolidated Double Diamond Distillery LLC as a subsidiary of Tilray beginning December 7, 2021. Additional information about the Breckenridge Acquisition is included in Note 6 Goodwill.

Long-term investments

Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value and are subject to impairment testing. Other than impairment losses, unrealized gains and losses during the period, net of the related tax effect, are excluded from income and reflected in other comprehensive income (loss), and the cumulative effect is reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. Upon sale, realized gain and losses are reported in net income. Debt securities are impaired when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. If the cost of sales onan investment exceeds its fair value, the Company’s Consolidated StatementsCompany evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of Net Lossdebt instrument issuers, and Comprehensive Loss. As of March 31, 2021, these amounts are included under the caption of cost of sales.

Equity method investments are recorded at cost, plus the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses, and impairment, if any, within “Interest in equity investees” on the balance sheets. The Company assesses investments in equity method investments when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired.

Once a determination is now presentedmade that an OTTI exists, the investment is written down to its fair value in general and administrative expenses.accordance with ASC 820 at the reporting date, which establishes a new cost basis.

Net lossEarnings (loss) per share

Basic net lossearnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing reported net lossincome (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding forduring the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other

contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during the reporting period. Diluted net lossearnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing reported net lossincome (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the number of dilutive potential dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of vested share options, warrants and RSUs and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of warrants, stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”)debentures and restricted stock awards.similar instruments.

In computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2021, there were 14,243,733For the three and nine-months ended February 28, 2022, the dilutive potential common share equivalents with potential dilutive impact (March 31, 2020 – 21,266,707).

Senior Facility

On February 28, 2020, High Park Holdings Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower” or “High Park”) entered into a credit agreement, denominated in Canadian dollars (“C$”), for a senior secured credit facility in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $59,600 (C$79,800) (the “Senior Facility”).

On June 5, 2020, High Park entered into the First Amendment of the Senior Facility (the “Amendment”) which provided for interest-only payments for the remainder of its term with all outstanding principal payments due at February 28, 2022.

The Senior Facility bears interest on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to the Canadian prime rate plus 8.05%, calculated based on the daily outstanding balance of the Senior Facility calculated and compounded monthly in arrears and with no deemed reinvestment of monthly payments. Interest is due monthly throughout the term. The Company has the option to voluntarily prepay, without penalty, the outstanding amounts, in full or in part, at any time starting 6 months from the closing date subsequent to providing 75 days’ notice.

The Senior Facility has first priority claims on all North American assets of the Company and contains certain affirmative and negative covenants. The operational covenant includes a minimum unrestricted cash threshold of $29,466 (C$40,000) in order for the Company to make additional capital expenditures and investments. The Senior Facility is collateralized against all real and personal property owned, leased and operated by the Company in North America, and any and all other property of the Company now existing and acquired in North America after the closing date.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants set forth under the Senior Facility.

Note 16. Income Taxes

The determination of the Company’s overall effective tax rate requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The effective tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in various United States federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. Tax law changes, increases and decreases in temporary and permanent differences between book and tax items, valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, and the Company’s future non-cancellable minimum purchase commitmentschange in income in each jurisdiction all affect the overall effective tax rate. It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company reported income tax benefit of $(1,830) and $(2,739) for inventory asthe three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 and income tax expense of March 31, 2021:$6,310 and income tax benefit of $(13,707) for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021. The income tax expense (benefit) in the current period varies from the US statutory income tax rate and prior period primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings and losses with no tax benefit resulting from valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions.

Due to the termination of a supply agreement, the Company removed $59,700 of purchase commitments from its commitments and contingencies as of March 31, Effective November 10, 2021,.

In 2018, the Company signed an agreement with Rose Lifescience Inc.

Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into related party transactions with certain entities under common control and joint ventures as described in the Annual Financial Statements and detailed below.

Leafly Holdings, Inc. (“Leafly”)

The Company has a series of agreements with Leafly providing for, among other things, data licensing, advertising and marketing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 0 operational expenses was recorded within general and administrative expenses in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss (2020 - $129).

Docklight LLC (“Docklight”)

The Company pays Docklight a royalty fee pursuant to a brand licensing agreement which provides the Company with exclusive rights in Canada for the use of certain adult-use brands. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, royalty fees of $493 were recorded within general and administrative expenses in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss (2020 - $221). Refer to Note 16 for purchase commitments with Docklight.

Fluent and Cannfections

The Company has joint venture arrangements with a 50% ownership and voting interest in each Fluent and Cannfections. Refer to Note 4 for details over transactions with these entities for the three months ended March 31, 2021. 

21.

Financial Instruments

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited in major financial institutions in Canada, Australia, Portugal, Germany and the United States. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits. Accounts receivable are unsecured and the Company does not require collateral from its customers.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk from the potential default by any of its counterparties on its financial assets.

15


The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and provides an allowance for credit losses as necessary (refer to Note 5).

Due to the uncertainties associated with COVID-19, the Company may be unable to accurately predict the creditworthiness of its counterparties and their ability to meet their obligations. This may result in unforeseen additional credit losses.

Foreign currency risk

The Company conducts its business in several countries and in a variety of currencies, the most significant of which are the Canadian dollar and the Euro. Consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. A significant portion of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. A 10% change in the exchange rates for the Canadian dollar would affect the carrying value of net assets by approximately $47,220 as of March 31, 2021, with a corresponding impact to accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The Company is also exposed to risk related to changes in the value of the Euro due to its construction commitments in Portugal.

Interest rate risk

The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s outsanding debt. The Company is exposed to changes to the Canadian prime rate as the Senior Facility bears interest based on the Canadian prime rate plus 8.05%. The convertible notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5% and are not publicly traded and is therefore are not affected by changes in the market interest rates. A 1% change in the Canadian prime rate would have an impact of $134 to the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s objective is to have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company monitors its cash balances and cash flows generated from operations to meet its requirements. As of March 31, 2021, the most significant financial liabilities are accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, convertible notes and the Senior Facility.

Equity price risks

As of March 31, 2021, we held long-term equity investments at fair value and equity investments under the measurement alternative. These investment in equities were acquired as part of our strategic transactions. Accordingly, the changes in fair values of investment in equities measured at fair value or under the measurement alternative are recognized through other expense (income), net in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Based on the fair value of investment in equities held as of March 31, 2021, a hypothetical decrease of 10% in the prices for these companies would reduce the fair values of the investments and result in unrealized loss recorded in other expense (income), net by $1,132. Similarly, based on the fair value of our warrant liability as of March 31, 2021, a hypothetical increase of 10% in the price for our common stock would increase the change in fair value of warrant liability by $12,290.

22.

Fair Value Measurementvalue measurements

Financial instruments

The Company complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for has classified its financial assetsinstruments as described in Note 3 Significant accounting policies in our Annual Report.  

The carrying values of accounts receivable, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general,approximate their fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active marketsdue to their short periods to maturity.

At February 28, 2022 the Company’s long-term debt of $18,188 (May 31, 2021 - $20,358) is subject to fixed interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt is valued based on discounting the future cash outflows associated with the long-term debt. The discount rate is based on the incremental premium above market rates for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points forGovernment of Canada securities of similar duration. In each period thereafter, the asset or liability, and includes situations where thereincremental premium is little, if any,held constant while the Government of Canada security is based on the then current market activity forvalue to derive the asset or liability.discount rate.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of MarchFebruary 28, 2022 and May 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis

TheCompany’s financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis are its equity investments measured at fair value, convertible debt securities classified as available-for-sale, acquisition-related contingent consideration, and warrant liability.

EquityConvertible notes receivable, and equity investments are recorded at fair value:value. The estimated fair value is determined using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or discounted cash flows. Theseflows and is classified as Level 2. Certain equity investments recorded at fair value have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and are classified as Level 1.

Warrant liability: Debt securities classified as available-for sale are recorded at fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is classified as Level 3. The Company classified these securities as level 2 in the period of acquisition, when the valuation was determined to reflect the recent market transaction.

The warrants associated with the warrant liability are classified as Level 3 derivatives. Consequently, the estimated fair value of the warrant liability is determined using the Monte CarloBlack-Scholes pricing model (refer to Note 12).model. Until the warrants are exercised, expire, or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified to stockholders’ equity, the warrant liability (which relates to warrants to purchase shares of Class 2 common stock) is marked-to-market each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in change in fair value of warrant liability. Any significant adjustments to the unobservable inputs disclosed in the table below would have a direct impact on the fair value of the warrant liability.

The contingent consideration from the acquisition of SweetWater, first due in December 2023 and payable in cash, is determined by discounting future expected cash outflows at a discount rate of 5%, and probability of achievement of 50%. The unobservable inputs into the future expected cash outflows result in a fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

The APHA 24 Convertible Debt: This instrument is helddebentures are recorded at amortized cost.fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using quoted market prices near the reporting dateBlack-Scholes option pricing model and is classified as Level 2.3.

Accordingly, as reported in our Annual Report and in this Form 10-Q, the assets and liabilities of Aphria are presented at their historical carrying values and the assets and liabilities of Tilray are recognized on the effective date of the business combination transaction and measured at fair value. The operating results for the comparable period, the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021, are of those of Aphria. Accordingly, comparisons between the Company's results for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 and prior periods may not be meaningful. In conjunction with the reverse acquisition, the Company elected to adopt Aphria’s fiscal year of June 1 to May 31.

OverviewTrends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business

Market Dynamics.

Our vision is to build the world’s most trusted and valuable cannabis and hemp company. We are pioneering the future of medical, wellness and adult-use cannabis and hemp research, cultivation, processing and distribution, globally. We are one of the leading suppliers of adult-use cannabisbusiness reporting segment operates in Canada, medicinal cannabis in Germany, and a leading supplier of hemp products in North America.

We have supplied high-quality medical cannabis products to tens of thousands of patients in eighteen countries spanning five continents through our subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, Germany, Latin America and Portugal, and through agreements with established pharmaceutical distributors. We cultivate medical and adult-use cannabis in Canada and medical cannabis in Portugal. We only operate in countries where cannabis or hemp-derived cannabinoids are legal, and are permitted under all applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws.

We are witnessing a global paradigm shift regarding regulatory and consumer sentiment about cannabis and hemp. This shift is transforming a multibillion-dollaran industry from a state of prohibition to one of legalization. Medical cannabis is now authorized at the national or federal level in forty-two countries. The legal market for medical cannabisthat is still in its early stages of development. In Canada, the industry celebrated its third year of adult-use legalization in October 2021. As the industry continues to mature, there are a number of new entrants into the industry, which has led to increased competition.   This competitive environment in the Canadian cannabis industry subjects us to the risk of loss of market share, price discounting by competitors, and we believeto the challenge of acquiring new customers amidst the evolving market changes. The number of licenses granted, and the number of countries with legalized regimes will continuelicensed producers ultimately authorized by Health Canada could have an adverse impact on our ability to increase over time. As this transformation occurs, we believe trusted global brands with multinational supply chains will becomecompete for market leaders by earning the confidence of patients, doctors, governments, and adult consumers around the world.

We are a leadershare in the Canadian adult-use market. We have agreements to supply certain provinces and territories with our adult-use products for sale through their established retail distribution systems. Adult-use legalization occurred in Canada on October 17, 2018. On October 17, 2019, the Canadian adult-use regulations were amended to permit the sale of new classes of cannabis products including edibles, beverages and vape products.

Canada.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021,February 28, 2022, we issued 6,254,980 shares of Class 2 common stockmaintained our market leadership within Canada but experienced a decline in market share percent to 10.2% from the 12.8% market share we maintained for gross proceeds of approximately $159.2 million under our at-the-market equity offering program.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we issued 12,791,000 shares of Class 2 common stock relatedNovember 30, 2021. Prior to the exerciseend of outstanding warrantsour fiscal second quarter, the Company was primarily focused on margin maintenance in Canada. With the current market dynamics and the Company’s cost advantages, the Company adjusted its focus to be more price competitive in the value, mainstream and premium plus market categories, particularly, in vape and pre-rolled products. Our price adjustments in the vape and pre-rolled markets proved successful, with the Company increasing its market share in both categories in the current quarter, as measured by HiFyre data.


The cannabis industry in Europe is also in its early stages of development whereby countries within Europe are at different stages of legalization of medical and adult-use cannabis as some countries have expressed a clear political ambition to broadly legalize adult-use cannabis (Germany, Portugal, Luxembourg and Malta), some are engaging in an experiment for gross proceedsadult-use (Netherlands, Switzerland) and some are debating regulations for cannabinoid-based medicine (France, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom).  In Europe, we believe that, despite continuing COVID-19 pressure, and the Russian conflict with Ukraine cannabis legalization (both medicinal and adult-use) will continue to gain traction, especially following actions of approximately $76.1 million.the Maltese and German governments. We also continue to believe that Tilray remains uniquely positioned to win in these markets with its infrastructure being the only company with EU-GMP cultivation facilities in two countries within Europe, our distribution network and our demonstrated commitment to the availability, quality and safety of our products.  Today, Germany remains the largest medical cannabis market in Europe.

On April 30,The following is a summary of the state of cannabis legalization within Europe:

Germany. The new coalition government led by chancellor Olaf Schulz declared its intention to legalize adult-use cannabis use, which aims to regulate the sale of adult-use cannabis. To date, Tilray remains the sole producer among the three selected to distribute domestically grown cannabis for the BfArM through its state-of-the-art first operating medical cannabis center in Neuemunster.

Malta. In December 2021, we completedMalta now allows its citizens to grow up to six plants at home, possess up to seven grams for personal use, establish a dedicated government authority, and allows the creation of social cannabis clubs. Although commercial sales are still forbidden, such achievement marks an arrangement pursuantimportant cornerstone for the cannabis industry in Europe.

Luxemburg. The government stated intentions to an Arrangement Agreement dated aslegalize adult-use cannabis in October 2021, thereby allowing cultivation, possession, and sale of December 15, 2020 (as amended,seeds. However, legislation delays are due to the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”), pursuant toCOVID-19 pandemic. The Luxemburg government has refined its draft bill, which we believe will be enacted in calendar year 2022.

Italy.  Cannabis activists successfully set up a referendum to decriminalize domestic cannabis cultivation and remove penalties for cannabis possession. Although blocked by the constitutional court on other grounds, we are witnessing strong evolutions in the ways the Italian Government and administration are planning to facilitate patient access to medical cannabis. We project the market opening towards more exhaustive supply sources for flowers and extracts.

Switzerland.  In October 2021, Switzerland announced its intention to legalize cannabis by allowing production, cultivation, trade, and consumption. In the meantime, a three-year pilot project will commence in the Fall 2022 to conduct scientific studies on the cannabis market and its impact on Swiss society.

Spain. A subcommittee on medical cannabis was recently created in Spanish Congress' Health Committee. Hearings started in early March 2022, with a series of national and EU experts attending. A report with recommendations for a regulation on MC in Spain is expected by the end of June 2022, which will likely lead the way for a government-sponsored bill on medical cannabis.

France.  France launched a two-year pilot experiment to supply approximately 3,000 patients with medical cannabis. To date, approximately 1,500 patients are enrolled in the experiment.

United Kingdom. Medical cannabis is legal in the United Kingdom, however, there is a need to maximize both clinical research and patient benefit in a safe, cautious and ethical manner so that those patients for whom medical cannabis is shown to be effective can access it. Currently, a new piece of legislation is in discussion, which aims to improve access to cannabinoid-based medicine through two measures: (1) expanding the ability to prescribe these products to General Practitioners (GPs) who are registered with the General Medical Council and (2) establishing a commission for the assessment of cannabinoid-based medicinal products. The bill is sitting for the session of May 6 at the House of Commons. The department of health and social care announced that trials of medical cannabis in the UK will begin “as soon as possible.” The Government's National Institute for Health Research oversees the studies, which will study the effects of medical cannabis on epilepsy.

Acquisitions and synergies.

We have grown, and strive to continue to expand our business, through a combination of organic growth and acquisition. While we continue to execute against our strategic initiatives that we believe will result the in long-term, sustainable growth and value to our stockholders, we continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and other strategic transactions of businesses that we believe complement our existing portfolio, infrastructure and capabilities or provide us with the opportunity to enter attractive new geographic markets and product categories. As a result, we incur transaction costs in connection with identifying and completing acquisitions and strategic transactions, as well as ongoing integration costs as we combine acquired allcompanies and continue to achieve synergies. For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we incurred $42.9 million of transaction costs.


In connection with the Arrangement, we committed to achieving at least $80 million of synergies in connection with the integration of Tilray and Aphria and developed a robust plan and timeline to achieve such synergies.  In executing our integration plan, we evaluated and optimized the organizational structure, evaluated and retained the talent and capabilities we identified as necessary to achieve our longer-term growth plan and vision, reviewed contracts and arrangements, and analyzed our supply chain and our strategic partnerships.  During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we have executed on a series of synergistic actions, which included:

We entered into a termination and settlement agreement with ABG Intermediate Holdings 2, LLC (“ABG”) and certain of its affiliates whereby we terminated the license to use certain trademarks and the obligation to pay associated royalties.  Pursuant to this settlement agreement, we terminated $6.6 million in remaining guaranteed royalty payments owed to ABG in exchange for the payment of a $3.9 million termination fee.

We continued efforts to close down the legacy-Tilray Canadian facilities in Nanaimo and Enniskillen and integrate their forecasted demand into our Leamington facilities, thereby aligning our cost structure across our brands and products in Canada. On December 24, 2021, the Company agreed to extend the lease term of the Enniskillen facility to September 30, 2022, pursuant to a lease amendment that is intended to provide the Company with additional time to facilitate a disposition of the facility. On March 15, 2022, the Company entered into a sale agreement for the Nanaimo, Canada, facility for CAD $18.25 million with an expected closing date in June 2022 as outlined in Note 24.

We rightsized our real-estate portfolio to match our changing business needs through our site rationalizations and through the reduction of our commercial office space. Specifically, we reduced our redundant commercial office space by terminating a Toronto office lease, repudiating our Minneapolis lease and sub-leasing a portion of our Seattle office lease. Additionally, we sold two vacant land properties adjacent to our Nanaimo, Canada, facility with the first closing completed in this fiscal quarter for a purchase price of $3.7 million and the second property expected to close in May 2022 for a purchase price of CAD $1.9 million.

Due to the Company’s decisive and impactful actions in connection with the integration of Tilray and Aphria, we are on track to achieve the identified $80 million of cost synergies 5 months earlier than previously projected. As of the issueddate of this filing, we achieved $76 million in cost-savings on a run-rate basis and outstanding common shares$42 million in actual cash-savings. Additionally, we have identified an additional $20 million of Aphria pursuantsynergies, bringing the total identified synergies to $100 million, which we expect to achieve by the end of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 to drive further stockholder value.  

During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we also executed on other strategic transactions, as follows:

The acquisition of Breckenridge Distillery, a leading distilled spirits brand located in Breckenridge, Colorado, widely known for its award-winning bourbon whiskey collection and innovative craft spirits portfolio. Breckenridge Distillery joins SweetWater Brewing Company as the cornerstones of Tilray’s beverage alcohol segment and further diversifies the company’s net revenue mix. In addition to acquiring a strong brand and accretive business, this strategic acquisition delivers additional scale in the beverage alcohol category and further positions Tilray with additional infrastructure and a larger footprint in the U.S. market upon federal cannabis legalization. When federally permissible, Tilray believes the acquisition of Breckenridge Distillery will enable us to commercialize new and innovative products through the development of non-alcoholic distilled spirits, including bourbon whisky, that is infused with cannabis.

The purchase of the previously leased SweetWater Brewing facility and taproom located in Atlanta, Georgia, which provides SweetWater with ownership of its state-of-the-art brewing facilityand integrated restaurant and live music venue.

Building upon SweetWaters’s strategic plan to expand into all 50 states within the U.S., we acquired the Alpine and Green Flash brands, two iconic West Coast craft beer brands that boast award-winning brews. This strategic acquisition was completed shortly after SweetWater announced plans to move into a 32,450-square-foot production facility in Fort Collins, Co that it recently acquired, which also includes a 10,000-square-foot taproom. We believe that these initiatives, coupled with SweetWater’s new taproom inside Denver International Airport, will provide a launch pad for SweetWater to further distribute to the West Coast.

Lastly, on March 3, 2022, Tilray announced a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (the “Arrangement”proposed agreement for a potential strategic alliance with HEXO Corp. (“HEXO”). Each outstanding common shareThrough this potential alliance, both companies would be expected to realize commercial benefits with production efficiencies and support services. The Company would also acquire up to $211 million of Aphria outstanding immediately priorsenior secured convertible notes (“Notes”) that were issued by HEXO and are currently held by funds affiliated with HT Investments MA LLC.  The Notes would be amended to permit the effective timeCompany to exercise conversion rights and potentially acquire a significant equity ownership position in HEXO. In connection with the proposed agreement, the Company would agree to amend and restate the indenture governing the Notes, to among other things, (i) extend the maturity date by three years, to May 1, 2026; (ii) provide for the revised interest amounts; and (iii) amend or eliminate certain affirmative and negative covenants. The Notes will also provide the Company with subscription rights and top-up rights in respect of all future


equity and debt issuances by HEXO following closing. The proposed transaction is subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements and satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent to closing.

The Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic, Its Impact on Us

We continuously address the effects of the Arrangement was transferredCOVID-19 pandemic, a discussion of which is available in sections entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part I and “The Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic, Its Impact on Us” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021.

During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, our business operations experienced the following as result of the COVID-19 pandemic:

COVID-19

Thechanges in consumer demand that were established during the onset of COVID-19 pandemic and various government stepsperiods of lockdown. As we previously reported, consumers shifted their demand behavior to reducepurchasing elections based primarily on pricing. This consumer model of purchasing eroded the spreadsales of COVID-19 have had andour higher quality, higher priced brands resulting in our market share reduction during the period. Our Canadian medical cannabis business experienced a slight uptick in patient demand. In our international cannabis business, we continue to have a significant impact onsee access to physician practices remains limited due to protective measures in place throughout Germany, slowing down the way people live, work and interact and have significantly impacted and will likely continue to impact economic activity aroundadoption of medical cannabis as an innovative treatment option. Our distribution business experienced slight improvement in the world.

Duringglobal supply chain disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic manyresulting in a modest increase in net revenue in its base currency but due to the impact of change in the marketsexchange rate between the US dollar and the Euro, the Company recognized a decrease in which we producesales from the prior year’s comparable period. Our beer and sell our products have experienced unprecedented “lockdowns” or “stay at home” orders, and other government mandated restrictions to try and reduce the spread of COVID-19. The situationalcohol business continues to be uncertainsee a decline in on-premise business primarily as the on-premise industry dealt with a lack of staffing and varies by market as infection rates of COVID-19 remain high in many regions throughout the world including Canada, Portugal, and Germany where we either have production facilities, sales efforts, or both. Because our products have been deemed essential products, we have been ablea change demand pattern related to continue operating our business.after work alcohol consumption. The health, safety and well-being of our employees has been and remains our first priority. Many of our employees continue to work from home. In those instances where our employees cannot perform their work at home, such as in our production facilities, we have implemented additional health and safety measures and social distancing protocols, consistent with government recommendations and requirements, to help to ensure their safety.

During the comparable quarter in 2020, and as a resultcontinued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic we saw an increasehas hampered revenue growth in demand for our cannabis products driven bymain consumer pantry-loading and increased consumptionfacing markets. Within the hemp food segment of our products duebusiness, we continue to concerns about future availability of productsnavigate the changes with growth in ecommerce and or concerns about whether retail locations that sell our products would remain open. During“click + pickup” channels offsetting declines in traditional retailer channels as consumer shopping behaviors shift.

Our business and operating results for the quarterthree and nine months ended March 31, 2021 some of our key markets, including Canada and Germany, experienced severe restrictions on patients and consumers and the retail locations at which patients and consumers purchase our products. As a result of these restrictions we believe demand for our products was subdued during the period. DespiteFebruary 28, 2022 continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been able to keep up with fluctuating patientincluding Delta and consumer demand for our products and have continued to introduce new products in the market.

Omicron variants. The COVID-19 pandemic remains highly volatile, and the various government steps to reduceresponses of local governments based on numbers of new cases, disease severity, risk of reinfection, and vaccine performance continue are unpredictable. We cannot accurately predict the spread have impacted and mayduration or extent of the impact of the COVID-19 virus. We will continue to impactassess our patients’operations and consumers’ abilitywill continue to access and purchase our products. These steps may also inhibit our ability to produce products at our various facilities. While we believe consumer demand for our products remains strong, due toconsider the uncertainties surroundingguidance of local governments throughout the COVID-19 and itsworld. If economic conditions caused by the pandemic do not recover as currently estimated by management or market factors currently in place change, there could be a further impact on our patients’results of operations, financial condition and consumers’ ability to access and purchase our products,cash flows from operations.

We generally expect COVID-19 to continue to impact patient and consumer behavior and access to products and present uncertainty in the markets in which we do business. Despite the uncertainty presented by COVID-19 our current forecasts show our cash balances will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, debt payments, and general liquidity requirements.follows:

Revenue from Canadian medical cannabis products:  Revenue from Canadian medical cannabis products increased 19% to $7.1 million and number of dried cannabis grams required26% to produce extracted cannabis in the form of cannabis oils infused into the final product. This conversion ratio is based on the amount of active cannabinoids in the products rather than the volume of the final product.

Total kilogram equivalents sold increased 8%$23.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021February 28, 2022, compared to revenue of $5.9 million and $18.6 million for the prior year same periods. This increase in revenue from medical cannabis products is primarily driven by the contributions of legacy Tilray’s medical cannabis business resulting from the comparable period in 2020 primarilybusiness combination of April 30, 2021. The increase is also due to growthnew innovative product launches, including our new brand Symbios launched earlier in our internationalthe year, to address unmet medical sales. We expect continued increasesneeds and to provide patients with more choices in kilogram equivalents grams sold as we generate sales growth in our key cannabis businesses; adult-use and international medical.

Kilograms harvested – cannabis. Kilograms harvested represents the weight of dried whole plants post-harvest, drying and curing.managing their health conditions with medical products.  This operating metric is used to measure the production efficiency of our facilities and production team.

Total kilograms harvested increased by 15% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable periods in 2020 primarily due to additional operating capacity at our Portugal facility.

Thousand units sold – hemp products. Our subsidiary, FHF Holdings Ltd. (“Manitoba Harvest”)sells hemp products such as shelled hemp seed, ground hemp, broad spectrum hemp extract containing CBD and hemp seed oil that are tracked by individual units.

Hemp products sold for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased 30% from the comparable period in 2020. The increase was aspartially offset by the limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic from patients unable or unwilling to see a result of our large format retail customers shifting to larger size private label offerings,doctor as well as increased promotional activity withincompetition from the Clubadult-rec and US Retail channels.  Looking forward, the numberprice compression therein.

Revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis products: During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, our gross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis product decreased 10% to $43.5 million and decreased to $162.6 million compared to revenue of units sold$48.1 million and $163.2 million for the prior year same periods.The decrease in gross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis is likelyprimarily driven by the following series of factors:

We continued to experience the residual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to consumer behaviors through their heightened sensitivity to price and appetite for sacrificing brand loyalty to save costs;

We continued to experience disruptions to consumer’s purchasing patterns as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline was partially driven by the government lockdowns reinstated in Ontario to combat the Omicron variant, as well as vaccine passport requirements to shop in retail stores in Quebec, reducing consumer’s accessibility to our products; and

We also experienced additional declines in average gross selling price due to increased price-based competition in the more recent months from increased competition in the market. During the three months ended February 28, 2022, we maintained our market leadership but experienced a decline in market share to 10.2% from 12.8% at November 30, 2021 as a result of these factors.

These factors were partially offset by the impact of the Arrangement, by including legacy Tilray revenue.

We continue to increase as sales volumes rise.

Average net selling price per gram – cannabis. The average net selling price per gram is an indicatorfocus on expanding our product offerings to accommodate the changes in our adult-use customers, During the first quarter, we completed our first shipments to Nunavut, Canada. In the second quarter of 2022, we expanded the terms of our pricing trends over time on a gram equivalent basisdistribution partnership with Rose LifeScience, which will now represent the entire Tilray portfolio in Quebec. In addition, we expanded


our partnership with Great North Distributors, Inc. to represent the entire Tilray portfolio and cover all of Canada, except for Quebec, using its established network.

The Company has also announced the planned strategic alliance with HEXO. We plan to leverage this relationship to allow us to identify production efficiencies and generate cost savings.

The nine months decrease in gross revenue is impacted by sales mix, channel and product type. We exclude revenue associated with hemp products, accessories, and freight sales,attributable to arrive at cannabis-related revenue. We calculate average net selling price per gram by dividing total cannabis-related revenue by total kilogram equivalents sold. As Cannabis 2.0 products become a larger percentage of our mix, and because Cannabis 2.0 products include more value-added activities and the cannabis inputs will be a lower portion ofsame factors as the overall cost and value ofcause for the products, we may change this operating metric from per gram to per unit measuresdecrease in the future.three months.

The average net selling price per gram decreased by 5%Wholesale cannabis revenue: Revenue from wholesale cannabis products increased 111% to $2.8 million and increased 3% to $6.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021February 28, 2022 compared to revenue of $1.3 million and $6.6 million for the prior year same periods. The Company continues to believe that wholesale cannabis revenue will remain subject to quarter-to-quarter variability and is based on opportunistic sales.

International cannabis revenue: Revenue from the comparable period in 2020 dueinternational cannabis products increased 4,459% to increased competitive pricing in the adult-use segment. Generally, we expect our average net selling price$15.8 million and 760% to increase over time as our international medical sales make up a greater percentage of our total sales and we continue to introduce higher-priced Cannabis 2.0 products in our adult-use business.

Average cost per gram sold – cannabis. The average cost per gram sold measures the efficiency of our cultivation, manufacturing and fulfillment operations. We exclude hemp products, inventory valuation adjustments and the cost of sales related to accessories from total cost of sales to arrive at cannabis-related cost of sales. Cannabis-related cost of sales is then divided by total kilogram equivalents sold to calculate the average cost per gram sold. As Cannabis 2.0 products become a larger percentage of our mix, and because the Cannabis 2.0 products include other input costs that can be a greater portion of the unit cost than the cannabis ingredients, we may change this operating metric from per gram to per unit measures in the future.

The average cost per gram sold decreased by 10%$39.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 fromFebruary 28, 2022 compared to revenue of $0.3 million and $4.6 million for the comparable period in 2020 primarily as a result of reduced cost structures at our facilities due to our cost cutting efforts during 2020, better throughput and cost absorption at our High Park Holdings processing facility, and partiallyprior year same periods. The increase is due to the availabilitycontributions of low cost product from third parties.legacy Tilray’s larger international cannabis business as well as newly obtained business to business transactions. In Europe, we believe that, despite continuing COVID-19 pressure, cannabis legalization (both medicinal and adult-use) will continue to gain traction, especially following actions of the German and Maltese governments.  We expectalso continue to believe that Tilray remains uniquely positioned to win in these markets with its infrastructure being the only company with EU-GMP cultivation facilities in two countries within Europe and our demonstrated commitment to the consistency, quality and safety of our products.  

Germany. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, we continued to experience deceleration in the growth of our business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in some patients being unable or unwilling to see continued improvementa doctor.  Despite these impacts, we generated 19% revenue growth in connection with our cost per gram metricmedical cannabis products when compared to the prior quarter.

Portugal. We are the only approved medical cannabis product in the market, which is distributed through our distribution partners to medical stakeholders throughout Portugal.

Luxembourg. We were selected by the Luxembourg Ministry of Health as the exclusive supplier for the country’s medical cannabis program for dried flower and oils.

Switzerland. We distribute our cannabinoid-based medical extract products to Suisse patients through our partner “Lehenmatt Apotheke”.

France. We were selected as one of the four suppliers in a two-year pilot experiment to supply approximately 3,000 patients with medical cannabis. To date, approximately 1,500 patients are enrolled in the experiment.

Italy. We are one of five distributors licensed to import medical cannabis into the Italian medical cannabis market.

United Kingdom. In the prior quarter, we completed a shipment of a wide range of dried flower products with high, medium and balanced potencies into the UK medical cannabis market.

Ireland. We are one out of only two suppliers within the Irish market whose cannabinoid-based medical products are eligible for reimbursement.

Australia. We continue to leverage our cost reductions, includingstrengthen the closure of High Park Gardens which was a relatively high cost facility to operate, and identify additional ways to optimize our production activities.

Average gross selling price per unit – hemp products. The average gross selling price per unit is an indicatorreputation of our pricing trends over time onTilray medical brand whereby, through a unit basiscontract with the Department of Health in Victoria, 90 children are now participating in a government funded seizure program utilizing our cannabinoid-based medical products, which will continue to the end of calendar year 2024.

Malta.  We completed our first sale of medical cannabis dried flower in Malta in the quarter, and then in March, we expanded the offering and launched the first EU GMP medical cannabis oil products in Malta. Our EU-GMP medical cannabis products are now available in pharmacies across Malta, providing patients with safe and reliable access to high-quality medical cannabis.

Distribution revenue

Revenue from Distribution operations decreased 11% to $62.5 million and 6% to $198.6 million for our hemp productsthe three and is impacted by sales mix, channelnine months ended February 28, 2022 compared to revenue of $70.2 million and product type. We exclude revenue associated with cannabis, accessories and freight sales to arrive at hemp product-related revenue. We calculate average gross selling price per unit by dividing hemp product-related revenue by units sold.$210.5 million for the prior year same periods. The decrease in


The average gross selling price per unit decreased by 40%revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020February 28, 2022 is primarily due to the impact of changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and USD totaling a $6.7 million and $14.6 million reduction for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, when compared to prior year same periods. Additionally, the decrease in revenue during the nine months ended February 28, 2022 was also the result of the negative impact of an isolated weather event in Densborn, Germany. Specifically, heavy flooding impacted CC Pharma and forced a business closure for approximately five days leading to a decrease in net revenue in the period of almost $5.0 million.

Beverage alcohol revenue

Revenue from our Beverage operations increased salesto $19.6 million and $48.8 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 compared to revenue of lower priced private label products.

Critical Accounting Policies$11.9 million and Significant Judgments and Estimates

There were no material changes$12.7 million for the prior year same periods. The increase in the three-month period relates primarily to our critical accounting policiesacquisition of Breckenridge on December 7, 2021 but also includes an increase of almost $2.0 million in revenues generated by SweetWater. The increase in the nine-month period is consistent with the increase in the three-month period.

Earlier in the year, our beverage operations began operating our new brewing facility in Colorado and estimatesopened a new taproom at the Denver International Airport in connection with its strategic expansion initiative.  In addition, we released an extensive new line of innovative products, including seltzers, as well as a new beer offering developed in collaboration with our Canadian cannabis Broken Coast brand and a new vodka soda offering developed in collaboration with our Canadian cannabis Riff brand as Tilray continues to strengthen its strategic position in the U.S. by expanding its presence through acquisitions and collaboration with other Tilray cannabis brands.  This strategy of leveraging our growing portfolio of brands enables the company to launch THC-based product adjacencies upon federal legalization in the U.S.

Wellness revenue

Included in Wellness revenue is $14.7 million and $43.4 million from the information provided in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KManitoba Harvest, for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022.  Manitoba Harvest was part of the assets acquired in the Arrangement.

Cannabis gross margin: Gross margin decreased during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 to 33% and 34% from 39% and 45% versus the prior year same periods. The three months’ decrease in cannabis gross margin is primarily related to a single wholesale cannabis sale resulting in revenue of $3.0 and negative gross profit of $2.6 million, lowering the cannabis gross margin by 7% solely related to the single transaction. The transaction was a sale of aged dried cannabis that was nearing the end of its shelf life. In addition, margins were impacted by our price reduction on vape and pre-rolled products originally initiated in the prior quarter. The nine months decrease in cannabis gross margin is a result of selling the acquired legacy-Tilray brands, which had higher costs to produce, and the Company took an additional non-cash inventory write down of $12 million in November 2021. Significant efforts have been

taken to reduce the Company’s cultivation costs at its legacy-Tilray Canadian facilities, including announcing the shutdown of both the Enniskillen and Nanaimo Canadian facilities.  In the interim and until the inventory cultivated at these facilities is depleted, we expect to report lower gross margins until the inventory cultivated at legacy Aphria facilities replaces these products. Our European operations continue to work to optimize the cost structure for their cannabis growing facilities, including working with the Canadian operations team, all in an effort to continually lower our per unit costs.

Distribution gross margin: Gross margin of 8% and 10% for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 decreased from 13% and 14% from the same periods in the prior year. These declines were driven by increased costs as the Company’s primary source of products were unable to ship during border closures and during periods of peak demand. The Company also experienced higher than normal discounts and returns in the three months ended February 28, 2022.

Beverage alcohol gross margin:  Gross margin of 59% and 58% for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 increased from 41% and 42% from the same periods in the prior year. These increases are due to the addition of Breckenridge, and its higher gross margin, during the period and a resurgence of SweetWater’s on-premises activities from the return of indoor dining. Additionally, we acquired this segment in the final week of the second quarter of the prior year, which hinders a representative comparison.

Wellness gross margin:  Gross margin of 36% and 30% for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 are consistent with the preceding fiscal quarter. We acquired the wellness business in the Arrangement and did not operate in this segment during the same periods during prior year.

Operating expenses are comprised of general and administrative, share-based compensation, selling, amortization, marketing and promotion, research and development, and transaction costs. These costs increased by $5.1 million and $107.4 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022as compared to the same periods of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to reporting full quarters of operating expenses for the acquired SweetWater and legacy-Tilray in fiscal 2022 and Breckenridge beginning on December 7, 2021, including non-cash amortization charges associated with definite life intangible assets acquired and general and administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by a change in fair value of contingent consideration of $29.1 million as a result of a change in the likelihood of achieving specified earn-out EBITDA targets.


General and administrative costs

During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, general and administrative costs increased by 57% and 54% as compared to prior year same periods.

Executive compensation increased by 121% and 39% in the three months and nine months ended February 28, 2022, primarily due to an increase in the number of directors and executive level personnel on our board of directors and executive management team following the Tilray and Aphria combination, and an increase in base salaries commensurate with the increased complexity of our Company.

Office and general increased by 16% and 77% during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 primarily due to the inclusion of the acquired SweetWater and legacy-Tilray entities, and the additional one-time costs associated with the upcoming closure of our Nanaimo, Canada, facility.  

Salaries and wages increased 58% and 39% in the three months and nine months ended February 28, 2022. The increase is primarily due to additions associated with the aforementioned acquisitions from the prior year. The Company’s headcount increased to approximately 1,700 employees as a result of the Arrangement compared to 1,000 employees as of February 28, 2021.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $9.4 million and $27.0 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 compared to $3.1 million and $11.4 million for the same periods in the prior year. The increase is primarily driven by the increased number of employees and the accelerated vesting of certain elements of our stock-based compensation awards related to the Arrangement.

Insurance expenses increased by 53% and 56% for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 due primarily to our revised directors and officers’ insurance policy. This increase reflects an increase in premium rates, as the Company continued with legacy-Tilray’s rating history.

The Company recognized $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 related to insurance recoveries under the Business Interruption and Extra Expense portions of CC Pharma’s property insurance.

Selling costs

For the three months ended February 28, 2022, the Company incurred selling costs of $8.6 million or 5.7% of revenue as compared to $6.2 million and 5.3% of revenue in the prior year same period. For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company incurred selling costs of $25.3 million or 5.3% of revenue as compared to $18.1 million and 4.9% of revenue in the prior year same period. These costs relate to third-party distributor commissions, shipping costs, Health Canada cannabis fees, and patient acquisition and maintenance costs. Patient acquisition and ongoing patient maintenance costs include funding to individual clinics to assist with additional costs incurred by clinics resulting from the education of patients using the Company’s products. The increase in selling costs as a percent of revenue in both the three and nine-month periods resulted from incurred costs associated with having both Great North Distributors and Rose Lifesciences as distributors in Canada, a strategic decision intended to increase Canadian cannabis revenue. The increase is mainly driven by the combination of legacy-Tilray.


Amortization

The Company incurred non-production related amortization charges of $24.6 million and $84.3 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 compared to $10.8 million and $19.1 million in the prior year same periods. The increase is associated with the amortization on the acquired definite life intangible assets from SweetWater, legacy-Tilray and Breckenridge.  

Marketing and promotion costs

For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company incurred marketing and promotion costs of $7.6 million and $20.2 million as compared to $3.3 million and $12.4 million in the prior year same periods. The increase is mainly driven by the combination of legacy-Tilray.

Research and development

Research and development costs were $0.2 million and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 compared to $0.1 million and $0.5 million in the prior year same periods. These relate to external costs associated with the development of new products. Although the Company spends a significant amount on research and development, the majority of these costs remain in costs of sales, as the Company does not reclassify research and development costs related to the cost of products consumed in research and development activities.

Transaction costs

The three months decrease of 5% is associated with the closing of the SweetWater acquisition in the prior period. The nine months increase of 41% is associated with the solicitation of stockholder votes supporting an increase in the number of authorized common stock shares, transaction closing costs related to the Arrangement, the MedMen Transaction, the Breckenridge transaction and the evaluation of other potential acquisitions and one-time litigation costs.

For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company recognized a change in fair value of its APHA 24 convertible debentures of $56.1 million and $151.9 million, compared to a change in fair value of $(213.5) million and $(283.9) million for the prior year same periods. The change is driven primarily by the changes in the Company’s share price and the change in the trading price of the convertible debentures. Additionally, for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company recognized a change in fair value of its warrants, resulting in a gain of $21.1 million and $58.8 million acquired as part of the Arrangement, also as a result of the change in our share price. Furthermore, for three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company recognized a loss of $(2.5) million and $(18.5) million, resulting from the changes in foreign exchange rates during the period, compared to losses of $(3.9) million and $(23.6) million for the prior year same periods, largely associated with the strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar. The remaining other losses relate to changes in fair value in the Company’s convertible notes receivable and long-term investments.

 


Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We have included in this report measures of financial performance that are not defined by GAAP. We believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and include these measures in other communications to investors.  These non-GAAP measures include:

(1)

adjusted gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments),

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For information on how we define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA, and a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”adjusted gross margin percentage,

Revenue

We report our operating results in two segments: (i) Cannabis (licensed), and (ii) Hemp (unlicensed).  The business segments reflect how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management and the structure of our internal financial reporting. We also evaluate revenue by product channel.

Revenue. Revenue decreased by 8% to $48.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to revenue of $52.1 million for the same period in 2020. The reduction was primarily driven by reduced revenue from the hemp category as a result of delays in the switch from branded product to private label product with certain customers during the quarter and reduced promotional activity in 2021 versus 2020. Adult-use sales and Canada medical sales were negatively impacted by COVID related lockdowns throughout Canada during the quarter, while international medical sales increased as we expanded our customer base in existing and new markets.

Cannabis. Cannabis segment revenue increased 2% to $31.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $30.8 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by increased sales in our international medical markets which was partially offset by reduction in the adult-use and Canada medical categories.

Hemp. Hemp segment revenue decreased 22% to $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $21.3 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to delays in the switch from branded product to private label product with certain customers during the quarter.

We also analyze our sales mix by dried cannabis, extracts, hemp and accessories. Cannabis as a whole represented 65% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 versus 59% for the comparable period in 2020. Dried cannabis represented 67% of cannabis revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 64% for the comparable period in 2020. Cannabis extracts represented 33% of cannabis revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 34% for the comparable period in 2020. Hemp products represented 35% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 41% for the comparable period in 2020. In the future, we expect our cannabis products to grow at a faster rate and make up a larger portion of sales than our Hemp products as we generally see higher growth rate opportunities in international medical cannabis markets.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020 mainly due to improved operational efficiencies as we realized the benefits of cost reductions implemented throughout our supply chain during 2020. Additionally, we have improved our supply and demand planning efforts which resulted in reduced inventory adjustments versus the comparable period. We incur inventory valuation adjustments generally due to the write off of aged product or products that are unlikely to be sold.

Gross margin. Gross margin of 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased from the comparable period in 2020 due to reduced inventory valuation adjustments and overall improvements in our cost of production related to our cost cutting efforts. Excluding inventory valuation adjustments, gross margin increased to 35%, from 20% in 2020. The improvement resulted from reduced costs, increased sales in higher margin international medical markets, and the introduction of 2.0 products in the adult use market.

Foreign exchange (gain) loss, net. The impact of foreign exchange for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was a gain of $0.7 million, versus a loss of $28.1 million for the comparable period in 2020. Because a significant portion of our balances are in Canadian dollars, the strengtheninglieu of, the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar in the first quarter of 2021 drove the gain compared to the loss in the comparative 2020 period.

Change in fair value of warrant liability. Due to the increase in the market price of our stock since the offering closed, and despite the exercise of a significant portion of the warrants, the fair value of the warrant liability increased by $191.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable 2020 period.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $6.9 million compared to $9.1 million for the comparable period in 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to the conversion of a portion of our convertible debt into equity in November 2020.

Other (income) expense, net. Other (income) expense, net was in an income position for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to unrealized gains on investments  exceeding losses in 2021, and because we recognized $4.0 million of issuance costs in March 2020 associated with our registered offering.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For information on how we define andfinancial measures calculated Adjusted EBITDA, and a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Net loss increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to the impact of the change in the fair value of our warrant liability, the charge associated with our litigation settlement, and reduced sales and margin in our Hemp segment.

Adjusted earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to cost reduction measures undertaken during 2020, and our ability to leverage sales growth with a reduced cost structure.

Adjusted net income (loss)

Adjusted net loss represents a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.  Adjusted net income is calculated as net (loss) income plus (minus) the unrealized loss (gain) on convertible debentures, a non-cash item, share-based compensation, foreign exchange (loss) gain, all non-cash items, and transaction costs, costs which will not necessarily continue in future periods depending on the frequency of additional M&A considered by the Company.  It represents a measure management uses in evaluating operating results to reduce the impact of the volatility caused by fair value accounting of instruments associated with our capital structure, that have no impact on operations. The increase in adjusted net loss is primarily driven by higher net loss stemming from higher amortization costs associated with the definite lived assets acquired during the year, the additional general and administrative costs associated with Tilray for the full quarter and increased non-cash unrealized loss on changes to the fair value of our convertible debentures.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, inventory write downs, stock-based compensation, integration activities, transaction costs, unrealized currency gains and losses and other adjustments.

(The Company’s management believes that this presentation provides useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses this measure for reviewing the financial results of the Company and as a component of performance-based executive compensation.

We do not consider Adjusted EBITDA in thousandsisolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of United States dollars)Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes certain expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to inherent limitations as this metric reflects the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining Adjusted EBITDA. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA in connection with GAAP results.

For the period ended February 28, 2022, adjusted EBITDA increased primarily from favorable effects of new lines of business, offset by the inclusion of legacy Tilray’s cannabis business, while we work to achieve our synergies plan, as follows:

The Company revised its Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to reflect a correction in depreciation and amortization expense amount applied to this non-GAAP financial measures. Non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses includes depreciation expense related to both manufacturing and non-manufacturing assets. In the three months ended March 31, 2020 we incorrectly reported $3.6 million which excluded the portion of the depreciation expense related to the Company’s manufacturing assets. The corrected amount in Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is $4.6 million and is correct as reported above within the three months ended March 31, 2020 results.


 

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net loss. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA as compared to net loss, the closest comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA excludes:adjusts for the following:

 

Non-cash inventory valuation adjustments;Current and deferred income tax expenses and recoveries, which could be a significant recurring expense or recovery in our business in the future and reduce or increase cash available to us.

 

Severance costs;Interest expense and loss on disposal of property and equipment to reflect ongoing operating activities;

 

Non-cash depreciationforeign exchange gains or losses, which accounts for the effect of both realized and unrealized foreign exchange transactions. Unrealized gains or losses represent foreign exchange revaluation of foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities;

Non-cash change in fair value of warrant liability;

Non-cash amortization and amortization expenses; whichexpenses and, although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;

 

Stock-based compensation expenses, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;

 

Non-cash impairment charges, as the charges are not expected to be a recurring business activity;

Restructuring costs;inventory valuation adjustments;

 

Non-cash loss from equity method investments;

 

Litigation settlement;Costs incurred to start up new facilities and/or to close facilities in Nanaimo, Canada and Enniskillen, Canada;

Gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments)

Gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments) is a non-GAAP measure calculated in the cannabis segment. It is calculated as revenue less cost of sales, adjusted to add back inventory valuation adjustments.

Gross margin percentage (excluding inventory valuation adjustments)

Gross margin percentage (excluding inventory valuation adjustments) is a non-GAAP measure calculated in the cannabis segment. It is calculated as the gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments), as described above, divided by revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As ofWe actively manage our cash and investments in order to internally fund operating needs, make scheduled interest and principal payments on our borrowings, and make acquisitions. On March 31,3, 2021, we hadentered into an at the market offering arrangement (the ATM Program) pursuant to which we may offer and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400 million. The ATM Program is intended to strengthen our balance sheet and improve our liquidity position (refer to Part I, Financial Information, Note 24 Subsequent Events of this interim report). In addition, the Company may from time to time use excess cash to repurchase its outstanding convertible debentures in open market transactions. We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash equivalentsgenerated by operations, together with expected proceeds from the ATM Program and access to external sources of $416.3 million which were held for workingfunds, will be sufficient to meet our domestic and foreign capital and general corporate purposes. This represents an overall increase of $226.6 million since December 31, 2020. Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service obligations and for general corporate purposes. Our ability to fund operations and make planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations depends on future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we issued 6,254,980 shares of Class 2 common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $159.2 million under our at-the-market equity offering program. In addition, 12,791,000 warrants were exercised for 12,791,000 shares of Class 2 common stock resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $76.2 million.

The warrants issued as part of the registered offering contain anti-dilution price protection features which, so long as the warrants remain outstanding, allow us to only issue up to $20.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds under our at-the-market offering program at prices less than the $5.95 per share exercise price of the warrants, and in no event more than $6.0 million per quarter, at prices below the $5.95 per share exercise price of the warrants, without triggering the price protection features.

The warrants are to be settled in registered shares, and the registration statement is required to be active, unless such shares may be subject to an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The holders, at their sole discretion, may elect to a cashless exercise, and be issued un-registered shares in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act. In the event we do not maintain an effective registration statement, we may be required to pay a daily cash penalty equal to 1% of the number of shares of Class 2 common stock due to be issued multiplied by any trading price of the Class 2 common stock between the exercise date and the share delivery date, as selected by the holder. Alternatively, we may deliver registered Class 2 common stock purchasedneeds in the open market. We may also be required to pay cash if we do not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver to the holders upon exercise, which could have a material impact to our business.

Due to uncertainties we may face in raising additional equity financing in the future, which may be further impacted by the economic downturn and unprecedented conditions due to COVID-19, there remains uncertainty what impact this may have on managements assumptions used to develop these forecasts. Given our cash position and current operating plan, management believes there is not significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.foreseeable future.

The change in cash used in financing activities in the first three fiscal quarters of 2022 as compared to the first three fiscal quarters of 2021 is primarily due to an early payment on SweetWater’s term loan facility in fiscal year 2022, and the share capital and debt financings completed in fiscal year 2021 that did not recur in fiscal year 2022.

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. Free cash flow is relevant to management and investors, because it represents the cash flow available to the Company to repay creditors or potentially make distributions to investors. The measure is comprised of two GAAP amounts deducted from each other which are net cash provided by financingflow used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 relates toless investments, net of proceeds from our ATM equity offeringsdisposals, in capital and intangible assets.

Subsequent Events

A cannabinoid supplier (“supplier”)Refer to Tilray, and Tilray had been engaged in binding arbitration, which commenced in March 2020 and related to a supply agreement dispute between the parties. On April 29, 2021, the parties mutually agreed to settle this matter. Pursuant to a settlement agreement and release, Tilray (i) paid $20.0 million in cash and $5.0 million in Class 2 Common Stock to the supplier on April 29, 2021, and (ii) agreed to pay either $15.0 million in Class 2 Common Stock or $20.0 million in cash, depending on certain circumstances, to the supplier within nine months of the settlement date, in each case subject to certain upward adjustments based on the trading price and resale registration status of the Class 2 Common Stock. The parties also agreed to, among other things, withdraw from the arbitration proceeding and to release the other party from any and all claims arising out of or relating to the arbitration or the supply agreement.Part I, Financial Information, Note 24 As of March 31, 2021, tSubsequent Events he Company recorded the litigation settlement expense in its statement of net loss and comprehensive loss to reflect the outcome of this settlement. The litigation liability is payable in a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s class 2 common stock.  The initial payments made on April 29, 2021 are reflected in accounts payable and the remaining future payment is reflected in accrued expenses. The Company also removed $59.7 million of purchase commitments (refer to Note 16) from its commitments and contingencies as of March 31, 2021.interim report.

On April 25, 2021, the Company notified its senior secure credit facility lender that it intends to (i) terminate the commitments under the Senior Facility, and (ii) repay all outstanding loans and other obligations under the Senior Facility. On May 4, 2021, the Company repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness under its Senior Facility agreement. The Senior Facility and related security interests were terminated in conjunction with the repayment in full of $52.1 million (C$64 million) of principal, as well as accrued and unpaid interest and fees of $0.5 million (C$0.6 million), plus a prior notice prepayment fee of $1.1 million (C$1.3 million).

As disclosed previously, on April 30, 2021 the Arrangement with Aphria was completed (refer to Note 1 for additional information regarding the Arrangement) and we paid the financial advisor transaction fee of $9.2 million.

Contractual Obligations

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we reached a settlement and release agreement related to one of our supply contracts which resulted in the reduction of the total value of future commitments by $59.7 million. We do not believe the termination of this contract will have any negative impact on our ability to competitively source products required to conduct our business.

Off-BalanceOff Balance Sheet Arrangements

WeAt February 28, 2022, we did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K that have had, or are likely to have, a material current or future effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Contingencies

In addition to the ruleslitigation described in the Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings, the Company is and regulationsmay be a defendant in lawsuits from time to time in the normal course of business. While the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes the reasonably possible losses of such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not material. Additionally, the Company believes the probable final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows or liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The accounting principles we use require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the SEC.financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We believe in the quality and reasonableness of our critical accounting policies; however, materially different amounts may be reported under different conditions or using assumptions different from those that we have applied. The accounting policies that have been identified as critical to our business operations and to understanding the results of our operations pertain to revenue recognition, valuation of inventory, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based compensation and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. The application of each of these critical accounting policies and estimates is discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in “Part I, Item 1. Note 12SummaryBasis of Significant Accounting Policies”presentation and summary of significant accounting policies” to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rateThere have been no significant changes in market risk is the risk that the value or yield of available-for-sale debt securities may decline if interest rates decline or that the value of financial liabilities will increase if interest rates increase. Fluctuations in interest rates may impact the level of income and expense recorded on these financial instruments. A 1% changefrom those addressed in the interest rate in effectCompany’s Annual Report on MarchForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021 would not have a material effectduring the nine months ended February 28, 2022. See the information set forth in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of the Company’s Annual Report on the convertible note financial liabilities as they bear interest at a fixed rate of 5% and are not publicly traded. The Senior Facility bears interest on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to the Canadian prime rate plus 8.05%. A hypothetical 1% increase in the Canadian prime rate would result in an increase of $0.1 million recorded in interest expenseForm 10-K for the three monthsfiscal year ended MarchMay 31, 2021.

Equity Price Risk

As of March 31, 2021, we held long-term equity investments at fair value and equity investments under the measurement alternative. These investment in equities were acquired as part of our strategic transactions. Accordingly, the changes in fair values of investment in equities measured at fair value or under the measurement alternative are recognized through other expense (income), net in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, there is increased risk of declines in fair values of our equity investments if conditions have not been significantly improved and global stock markets have not recovered from recent declines. Based on the fair value of investment in equities held as of March 31, 2021, a hypothetical decrease of 10% in the prices for these companies would reduce the fair values of the investments and result in unrealized loss recorded in other expense (income), net by $1.1 million. Similarly, based on the fair value of our warrant liability as of March 31, 2021, a hypothetical increase of 10% in the price for our common stock would increase the change in fair value of warrant liability by $12.3 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars. However, a significant portion of our business and assets and liabilities are denominated in a variety of currencies, the most significant of which are the Canadian dollar and the Euro. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency transaction and translation gains and losses. The statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows are translated to USD by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the United States dollar will positively impact operating income and net earnings, and increase the value of assets and liabilities, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the United States dollar will negatively impact operating income and net earnings and reduce the value of assets and liabilities.

A 10% change in the exchange rates for the Canadian dollar would affect the carrying value of net assets by approximately $47.2 million as of March 31, 2021, with a corresponding impact to accumulated other comprehensive loss. We are also exposed to risk related to changes in the value of the Euro due to our one construction commitment in Portugal. We have not historically engaged in hedging transactions and do not currently contemplate engaging in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As we continue to recognize gains and losses in foreign currency transactions, depending upon changes in future currency rates, such gains or losses could have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021. The(as that term “disclosure controls and procedures,” asis defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, (or “DCPs”), means controls and other procedures of a companyAct) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in theour reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. DCPs include, without limitation, controlsforms, and procedures designed to ensure that such information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’sour management, including its principal executiveour Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officers,Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that anydisclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on thedesired control objectives. An evaluation of the Company’s DCPseffectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021, the Company’send of the period covered by this Quarterly Report was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as a resultof February 28, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported and (b) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Consistent with guidance issued by the SEC, the scope of management’s assessment of the material weaknesses ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures did not include the Company’s internal control described incontrols over financial reporting of legacy Tilray and Breckenridge, which we acquired on April 30, 2021 and December 7, 2021 respectively. Legacy Tilray and Breckenridge represented 7.6% and 2.1% of our Annual Report on Form 10-Kconsolidated assets and 24.5% and 1.2% of our consolidated revenues as of and for the yearnine months ended December 31, 2020, as of such date, the Company’s DCPs were not effective.February 28, 2022.

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness

As previously described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company began implementing a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses mentioned above. Management will continue to increase the adoption of software solutions to automate several manual processes, including but not limited to, the balance sheet account reconciliation control. Management also continues to standardize review procedures and formalize documentation of reviews to strengthen its control activities and provide training on documentation requirements surrounding the use of key spreadsheets and key reports. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than with respect

On January 1, 2022, Tilray successfully implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in the Company's SweetWater Brewery operations. As a result, financial and operating transactions are recorded utilizing modern functionality provided by the new ERP system. This new system is not in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in internal controls over financial reporting but to replace an aging system. The system implementation was designed, in part, to enhance the remediation efforts described above,overall system of internal controls over financial reporting through further automation of various business processes. Except for the preceding change, there have been no changes in the Company’sTilray’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in RuleRules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-5(f)15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting. As mentioned above, the Company acquired legacy Tilray and Breckenridge on April 30, 2021 and December 7, 2022 respectively. The Company is in the process of reviewing the internal control structure of legacy Tilray and Breckenridge and, if necessary, will make appropriate changes as it integrates legacy Tilray and Breckenridge into the Company’s overall internal control over financial reporting process.

On February 27, 2020, Tilray stockholders Deborah Braun and Nader Noorian filed a class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery styled Braun v. Kennedy, C.A. No. 2020-0137-KSJM. On March 2, 2020, Tilray stockholders Catherine Bouvier, James Hawkins, and Stephanie Hawkins filed a class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery styled Bouvier v. Kennedy, C.A. No. 2020-0154-KSJM. The two complaints are nearly identical, were filed by the same group of counsel, and name Brendan Kennedy, Christian Groh, Michael Blue, Maryscott Greenwood, Michael Auerbach, and Privateer Evolution, LLC (as successor to Privateer Holdings, Inc.) as defendants and Tilray as a nominal defendant.

On March 4, 2020, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an order consolidating the two cases and designating the complaint in the Braun/Noorian action as the operative complaint. The operative complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty against Brendan Kennedy, Christian Groh, Michael Blue, and Privateer Evolution, LLC (the “Privateer Defendants”) for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty in their alleged capacities as Tilray’s controlling stockholders and against Kennedy, Maryscott Greenwood, and Michael Auerbach for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties in their capacities as directors and/or officers of Tilray in connection with the Downstream Merger.prior merger of Privateer Holdings, Inc. with and into a wholly owned subsidiary (the “Downstream Merger”). The operative complaint alleges that the Privateer Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing Tilray to enter into the Downstream Merger and Tilray’s Board to approve that Downstream Merger, and that Defendants Kennedy, Greenwood, and Auerbach breached their fiduciary duties as directors by approving the Downstream Merger. Plaintiffs allege that the Downstream Merger gave the Privateer Defendants hundreds of millions of dollars of tax savings without providing a corresponding benefit to Tilray and its minority stockholders and that the Downstream Merger unfairly transferred and extended Kennedy, Blue, and Groh’s control over Tilray. On July 17, 2020, the stockholder plaintiffs filed an amended complaint asserting substantially similar claims. On August 14, 2020, Tilray and all defendantsthe Privateer Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On October 14, 2020, in light of the Plaintiffs’ statement that certain actions may have mooted some of their claims related to the alleged unfair extension of control over Tilray, the Court entered an order adjourning the planned November 4, 2020 hearing and removing the pendingdeadlines for briefing on the motions to dismiss. The hearing was rescheduled to February 5, 2021. On February 5, 2021, the Court held a hearing on those Motions and reserved judgment. On December 11, 2020, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiffs’ claims that the Downstream Merger improperly perpetuated or extended Kennedy, Blue, and Groh’s alleged control as moot in light of the automatic conversion of Tilray’s Class 1 common stock to Class 2 common stock. The parties have not yet agreed to a schedule on the briefing for that motion, but, atAt the February 5, 2021 hearing on Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss, the Plaintiffs agreed that their perpetuation of control claims are moot and stated that they intend to move for a fee award in connection with those claims. The defendants believeOn June 1, 2021, the Court denied Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss the Amended Complaint.

In August 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors established a Special Litigation Committee (the “SLC”) of independent directors to re-assert director control and investigate the derivative claims in this case are without merit,litigation matter.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits

On April 10, 2020, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) by Chad Gellner, Matthew Rufo, and Melvyn Klein, allegedly on behalf of21, 2022, together with numerous counterclaims.  Tilray Inc., that piggy‐backs on the Kasilingam litigation referenced above. It named the Board of Directors and Mark Castaneda as defendants. The theory of the lawsuit was that the board failed to prevent the alleged securities law violations asserted in the Kasilingam litigation. On May 29, 2020, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) by Bo Hu asserting essentially the same claims, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative action. And on June 16, 2020, the plaintiffs in the Gellner derivative action voluntarily dismissed that lawsuit in the EDNY and re‐filed it in the SDNY. The plaintiffs in the two derivative actions in the SDNY have agreed with nominal defendant Tilray and the individual defendants to consolidate the actions, and have submitted the stipulation to the court for approval.

On June 5, 2020 a third shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (DDE) by Lee Morgan, again alleging essentially the same claims, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative actions. On November 3, 2020, the court in the Morgan action entered a stipulated stay pending developments in the securities class action pending in the SDNY. On December 21, 2020 a fourth shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the DDE by Donald Kisselbach, again alleging essentially the same claims, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative actions. On March 1, 2021, the court so-ordered the parties’ stipulation, consolidating the DDE derivative actions under the caption In re Tilray, Inc. Consolidated Stockholder Litigation, and staying the consolidated action untilthe motion to dismiss the Kasilingam litigation is decided. The Company and the individual defendants believe the claims are without merit, and intend to defend vigorously against them.

Wyckoff Arbitration

On February 16, 2020, Wyckoff Farms (“Wyckoff”), a cannabinoid supplier to Tilray, emailed a demand for assurance of performance of the March 20, 2019 Cannabinoid Supply Agreement (“Supply Agreement”). Wyckoff stated that it believes that Tilray has anticipatorily breached its obligations under the Supply Agreement, which contemplated a five (5) year term, with an express minimum crop obligation during the first crop year for 2019-2020. Wyckoff demanded assurance that Tilray take delivery of and purchase at least 13,000 KG of product for the 2019/2020 crop year at a price of $4,600 KG of product (total purchase price $59,800,000). Wyckoff also claimed that the minimum quantity purchase obligation continued for the remaining crop years, which Tilray disputes. Tilray responded that it is within its rights under the Supply Agreement, that the contract’s only minimum purchase obligation is for the 2019/2020 crop year, and also invoked the contractual force majeure provision in light of the impacts of FDA action related to hemp-derived CBD, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 5, 2020, Wyckoff submitted the dispute to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in Benton County Washington, to which Tilray responded with an Answer on March 26, 2020, disputing Wyckoff’s claims. On April 29, 2021, the parties mutually agreed to settle this matter. Pursuant to a settlement agreement and release, Tilray (i) paid $20.0 million in cash and $5.0 million in Class 2 Common Stock to Wyckoff on April 29, 2021, and (ii) agreed to pay either $15.0 million in Class 2 Common Stock or $20.0 million in cash, depending on certain circumstances, to Wyckoff within nine months of the settlement date, in each case subject to certain upward adjustments based on the trading price and resale registration status of the Class 2 Common Stock. The parties also agreed to, among other things, withdraw from the arbitration proceeding and to release the other party from any and all claims arising out of or relating to the arbitration or the supply agreement.  The arbitration proceeding was dismissed on April 30, 2021.

Langevin Canada Class Action

On June 16, 2020, Lisa Langevin commenced a purported class action in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench, on her behalf and on behalf of a proposed class of all medicinal and recreational users in Canada of the defendants’ cannabis products who consumed the products before their expiry date. She alleges that the defendants, including Tilray, marketed medicinal and recreational cannabis products in circumstances where the defendants misrepresented the amount of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or Cannabidiol (CBD) in their respective products. As a result of the defendants’ alleged mislabeling of the cannabis products it is claimed that the plaintiff and proposed class members did not receive and consume the product that they believed that they had purchased and that this caused them loss, risk of injury and actual injury. Ms. Langevin claims that on February 13, 2020 she purchased Canaca – TenUp manufactured and distributed by Tilray. She had it tested and allegedly found that it only contained 43% of the claimed amount of THC. The Statement of Claim seeks $500,000,000 in damages and restitution and $5,000,000 in punitive damages plus interest and costs collectively from the defendants. On July 20, 2020 Plaintiff filed an Amended Amended Statement of Claim, and on December 4, 2020 the Plaintiff delivered a Third Amended Statement of Claim. We planintends to vigorously defend against this action.

Shareholder Arrangement Lawsuits

On March 12, 2020, Tilray filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and commenced the mailing of a definitive joint proxy statement/circular (the “Proxy Statement/Circular”) with respect to the special meeting of Tilray stockholders originally scheduled to be held on April 16, 2021 pursuant to the Arrangement.  

Between March 15, 2021 and April 6, 2021, seven lawsuits were filed by alleged stockholders of Tilray (collectively the “Complaints”):

35


(i)Docklight’s claims.

Patricia Violini filed a claim on March 15, 2021 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint names Tilray, Inc. and each Director as a defendant and alleges that the disclosures in the Proxy Statement/Circular were materially false and misleading under Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act. The claimant seeks to enjoin the parties from proceeding with the Arrangement, rescinding and setting aside the Arrangement in the event of consummation or awarding rescissory damages, and directing the individual defendants to disseminate a proxy.

(ii)

Alicia Barron-Archer filed a claim on March 23, 2021 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York with the same defendants and similar claims and relief sought.

(iii)

Arthur Reveles filed a claim on March 24, 2021 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York with the same defendants and similar claims and relief sought.

(iv)

Steven Lees filed a claim on March 31, 2021 with the same defendants and similar claims and relief sought.

(v)

Stephanie Young filed a claim on April 2, 2021 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York with the same defendants and similar claims and relief sought.

(vi)

Charles Williams filed a claim on April 6, 2021 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York with the same defendants and similar claims and relief sought.

(vii)

Richard Lawrence filed a claim on April 6, 2021 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware again with the same defendants and similar claims and relief sought.

Tilray and the other named defendants in the Complaints believe that these lawsuits are without merit and that no supplemental disclosure is required to the Proxy Statement/Circular under any applicable law, rule or regulation. However, solely to eliminate the burden and expense of litigation and to avoid any possible disruption to the Arrangement that could result from further litigation, Tilray filed a Form 8-K dated April 8, 2021 providing supplemental information to be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement/Circular.  On April 21, 2021, Alicia Barron-Archer voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit.  On April 22, 2021, Arthur Reveles voluntarily dismissed his lawsuit.  On April 24, 2021, Patricia Violini voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit.  

Bill’s Nursery v. Tilray, Inc.

On April 8, 2021, Bill’s Nursery, Inc. (“BNI”), a Florida nursery and medical marijuana treatment clinic operator, and its owner, Stephen Garrison, filed suit in Washington state court asserting claims against Tilray, Inc. (as successor to Privateer Evolution, LLC) for breach of contract, breach of the implied duty of good faith, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud, arising out of Tilray’s decision not to include the content of Tilray’s proprietary standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) in the parties’ 2015 applications for a “Dispensing Organization” license in Florida.  The Statement of Claim seeks an unspecified amount in damages, plus interest and costs. Tilray believes the claims to be without merit and will vigorously defend against this action.

We assess our liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of loss is not estimable, we do not accrue legal reserves. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available and available insurance coverage, our management believes that it has established appropriate legal reserves. Any incremental liabilities arising from pending legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Careful consideration should be given to the following updated risk factors related to the Arrangement, in addition to those risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) in1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended DecemberMay 31, 2020 and2021 includes a discussion of our known material risk factors, other than risks that could apply to any issuer or offering. A summary of our risk factors is included below. There have been no material changes from the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other documents that we file with the SEC or publicly in Canada, in evaluating our company and our business. Investingrisk factors described in our securities involves a high degree of risk. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently consider to not be material may also materially and adversely affect our company and our business.

Risks Related to the ArrangementForm 10-K.

We may experience difficulties integrating Tilray and Aphria’s operations and realizing the expected benefits of the Arrangement.

The success of the Arrangement will depend in part on our ability to realize the expected operational efficiencies and associated cost synergies and anticipated business opportunities and growth prospects from combining Tilray and Aphria in an

36


efficient and effective manner. We may not be able to fully realize the operational efficiencies and associated cost synergies or leverage the potential business opportunities and growth prospects to the extent anticipated or at all.

The Arrangement was completed on April 30, 2021, and we are in the early stages of our integration efforts. The integration of operations and corporate and administrative infrastructures may require substantial resources and divert management attention. Challenges associated with the integration may include those related to retaining and motivating executives and other key employees, blending corporate cultures, eliminating duplicative operations, and making necessary modifications to internal control over financial reporting and other policies and procedures in accordance with applicable laws. Some of these factors are outside our control, and any of them could delay or increase the cost of our integration efforts.

The integration process could take longer than anticipated and could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses, increased tax costs, inefficiencies, and inconsistencies in standards, controls, information technology systems, policies and procedures, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with employees, customers or other third parties, or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the transaction, and could harm our financial performance. If we are unable to successfully integrate certain aspects of the operations of Tilray and Aphria or experience delays, we may incur unanticipated liabilities and be unable to fully realize the potential benefit of the revenue growth, synergies and other anticipated benefits resulting from the arrangement, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We have incurred, and may continue to incur, significant Arrangement-related costs and transition costs in connection with the Arrangement with Aphria.

We have incurred, and may continue to incur, significant Arrangement-related costs and transition costs in connection with the Arrangement with Aphria. We may incur additional costs to maintain employee morale and to retain key employees. Unanticipated costs may be incurred in the course of integration, and management cannot ensure that the elimination of duplicative costs or the realization of other efficiencies will offset the transaction and integration costs in the near term or at all.

Risks Related to COVID-19

Risks related to COVID-19 have and will continue to impact our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to result in extended government-ordered closures affecting significant portions of the global economy, including in the United States, Canada, Portugal, and Germany, where we conduct significant business. The public health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the measures taken and continuing to be taken by governments, businesses and the public have, and we expect will continue to have, certain negative impacts on our business operations, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The full extent to which COVID-19 may impact our business, including our operations and the market for our securities and our financial condition, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. These include the duration, severity and scope of the pandemic, the development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, and further action taken by the government and other third parties in response to the pandemic. In particular, COVID-19 and government efforts to curtail COVID-19 could impede our production facilities, increase operating expenses, result in loss of sales, affect our supply chains, impact performance of contractual obligations and require additional expenditures to be incurred.

In connection with COVID-19 and to comply with mandates and guidance from governmental authorities, we have and continue to update our operational procedures and safety protocols at our facilities. If such measures are not effective or governmental authorities implement further restrictions, we may be required to take more extreme action, which could include a short or long-term closure of our facilities or reduction in workforce. These measures may impair our production levels or cause us to close or severely limit production at one or more facilities. Further, our operations could be adversely impacted if suppliers, contractors, customers and/or transportation carriers are restricted or prevented from conducting business activities. For example, cannabis retail stores in certain Canadian markets may close voluntarily or be forced by local governments to close or modify their operations, reducing our ability to distribute adult-use cannabis.

Consumer demand for cannabis products may also be impacted by COVID-19 as a result of reductions in consumers’ disposable income associated with layoffs, and work or pay limitations due to mandatory social distancing and lockdown measures implemented by government authorities. Demand for medical cannabis may be further impacted due to a decrease in patients visiting doctor’s offices and clinics. As demand for our products decreases, we may be required to record additional asset impairments, including an impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill, along with other accounting charges.

COVID-19 might also impact recruitment for current and future clinical trials involving our products which could lead to delays in study completion and/or recruiting fewer participants than planned or anticipated.

The following is a summary of certain COVID-19 related operational impacts and associated risks at our production and processing facilities:

If our growingbe able to achieve the expected production efficiencies and manufacturing operations at Enniskillen and London, Ontario are deemed non-essential, and are required to close for a significant period of time, our revenues and our results of operations would be significantly reduced.potential cost saving synergies resulting from the Transaction or other proposed commercial arrangements.

 

Similarly,Events and conditions relating to Russia’s current conflict with Ukraine have had, and may continue to have, a significant adverse impact on fuel and transportation costs and may cause supply and demand disruptions in the provincemarkets we serve, including Europe.

We are still completing our integration efforts following completion of British Columbia, where we growthe Arrangement between Tilray and manufacture cannabis products for medicinal purposes, has explicitly deemedAphria on April 30, 2021 and may experience challenges fully achieving the manufactureexpected benefits of the Arrangement.

We face ongoing risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the Delta, Omicron and saleany new variants will continue to adversely impact our operations and adversely adverse effect our business, results of adult-useoperations and medicinal cannabis by Licensed Producers (as defined under the Cannabis Act) to be an essential service. Any change to such designationfinancial condition.

Our business is dependent upon regulatory approvals and licenses, ongoing compliance and reporting obligations, and timely renewals.

Government regulation is evolving, and unfavorable changes could further disrupt our medicinal cannabis production and sales and restrictimpact our ability to participatecarry on our business as currently conducted and the potential expansion of our business.

Our production and processing facilities are integral to our business and adverse changes or developments affecting our facilities may have an adverse impact on our business.

We face intense competition, and anticipate competition will increase, which could hurt our business.

We may not be able to successfully develop new products or commercialize such products.

The long-term effect of the legalization of adult-use cannabis in clinical trials.Canada on the medical cannabis industry is unknown, and may negatively impact our medical cannabis business.

United States regulations relating to hemp-derived CBD products are unclear and rapidly evolving, and changes may not develop in the timeframe or manner most favorable to our business objectives.

We have a limited operating history and a history of net losses, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

We are subject to litigation, arbitration and demands, which could result in significant liability and costs, and impact our resources and reputation.

We are exposed to risks relating to the laws of various countries as a result of our international operations.

Our strategic alliances and other third-party business relationships may not achieve the intended beneficial impact and expose us to risks.

We depend on significant customers for a substantial portion of our revenue. If we fail to retain or expand our customer relationships or significant customers reduce their purchases, our revenue could decline significantly.

Significant interruptions in our access to certain supply chains for key inputs such as raw materials, supplies, electricity, water and other utilities may impair our operations.

Management may not be able to successfully establish and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.

The price of our common stock in public markets has experienced and may continue to experience severe volatility and fluctuations.


The volatility of our stock and the stockholder base may hinder or prevent us from engaging in beneficial corporate initiatives.

The terms of our outstanding warrants may limit our ability to raise additional equity capital or pursue acquisitions, which may impact funding of our ongoing operations and cause significant dilution to existing stockholders.

 

Manitoba Harvest has production facilities in Winnipeg and Ste. Agathe, which produce hemp-related food products and accordinglyWe may not have been deemed essential. While our facilities at both Winnipeg and Ste. Agathe remain open and producing according to schedule, and the U.S./Canadian border closure has exempted food transport as an essential cross-border service, we cannot predict the effect of future governmental actions related to COVID-19 on this critical supply chain. If our manufacturing operations at Winnipeg and Ste. Agathe are deemed non-essential, and are required to close for a significant period of time, or the U.S.-Canadian border is closed to food transport, our general ability to transport and receive raw materials, inputs and final products would be significantly impacted.raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the convertible securities in cash or to repurchase the convertible securities upon a fundamental change.

 

We may not become While our facility in Portugal has not been subjectthe world's leading cannabis-focused consumer branded company with up to $4 billion of revenue by 2024mandatory closure by Portuguese authorities;, there can be no assurance that such operational status will remain in effect or that the government will not implement additional measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. If the government mandated closure of our Portugal facility, or otherwise ordered further restrictions to business activities or employees’ movement, it could affect our ability to export medicinal cannabis across the European Union, applicable member states, or elsewhere in the region, which could have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are completing constructionsubject to other risks generally applicable to our industry and the conduct of an additional greenhouse of 3.4 hectares in Cantanhede, Portugal, now scheduled for final completion by the second quarter of 2021. Due to COVID-19, we have and may continue to experience construction delays. If we are unable to complete construction in a timely manner due to COVID-19, we may not achieve all our expected harvests and production, which may negatively impact our international sales. While we are actively working with our contractors to maintain appropriate COVID-19 protections at our construction site in an effort to complete construction in a timely manner, we may experience further delays as a result of the pandemic.

In Germany, we have experienced minimal disruption in the supply of medicinal products to patients via pharmacies and physicians. However, COVID-19 may impact ongoing supply and patient demand. We have observed a strong decrease in patients visiting doctors’ offices since the pandemic was declared, which could lead to reduced patient demand and revenues. Additionally, if medicinal cannabis is deemed non-essential by the German government, or we are unable to import our medicinal products into Germany from Canada and Portugal, it could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.business.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature and significance of COVID-19 and its impact globally, we are not able to enumerate all potential risks to our business. Any of the negative impacts of COVID-19, including those described above, alone or in combination with others, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Further, any of these negative impacts, alone or in combination with others, could exacerbate many of the other risk factors outlined in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2020.
